Will try to, but not sure if I'm able to cleanly set up a minimal use case. It looks like the actual crash was not the resource itself, but the two references to it in the .dist: <background file="logo.png" mime-type="image/png" alignment="bottomleft" scaling="none"/> <background-darkAqua file="logo.png" mime-type="image/png" alignment="bottomleft" scaling="none"/> Deciding for only one of those avoids the crash, and leaving the background one shows the logo on my macbook, with my configuration. I have no idea what exactly background-darkAqua is or does.

Happens as well on 12.5.1 (21G83). Xcode 13.3.1 (13E500a). Leaving out the one --resources parameter makes it run through without a crash. Edit: The resources directory consists of 3 files, de.lproj, en.lproj and logo.png. Removing logo.png makes the crash go away.
